Becker engaged to woman 16 years younger

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -Former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker plans to marry his late manager's daughter, who is 16 years younger than the German tennis icon, a newspaper reported Monday.

The couple got engaged Sunday "in the closest family circle,'' according to the online edition of Bild, Germany's mass-circulation newspaper.

Becker, 40, divorced Barbara Becker, with whom he has two children, seven years ago. He also has a daughter with London-based model Angela Ermakova.


Sandy Meyer-Woelden, 24, is the daughter of former Becker manager Axel Meyer-Woelden, who died in 1997. A jewelry designer, Meyer-Woelden dated German tennis star Tommy Haas for several years.
